MGT384 Applied Accounting and Financial Management: Business Simulation

Aims/Description: This module provides students with a chance to apply the skills that they have acquired throughout their degree, through their own 'virtual company' within a simulated business environment. It aims to foster employability skills while also testing the competence of students with regards to both application of skills required by finance professionals, and also in the ability to critically reflect on performance and formulate new strategies following a period of management of an organisation. The simulation presents students with challenges, not only in managing the company's output and finances, but also in important business areas such as human resources, handling legal issues, and sustainability.
